Dark Day, Ill Omens Megabattle - Greensburg, PA

PG Saidin invites you to come to Greensburg, PA on October 30.

Dark Ascension approaches, and the 3 moons will align shining fully on the Iron Kingdoms. The smart and superstitious will be safely in there homes; The treacherous and power hungry will race to the focal pont as arcane power surges from the heavens. The day spells ill fortune to all, but some may walk away with great power from above.

Set during the current time line, this battle involves all of western immoren. The minions of the dragon father plan to tap into the of the heavens on this dark day. So the call goes out "Who will fight the forces of cryx?" "Who will grab power to waste all of immoren?"

I'm working up details, the only thing I can tell you for sure is that the models from the leagues can be played in this event. Next, there can be only one of each character model on the board total, so some characters will need to be drafted by each side. Also I'm looking for two teams.

Cryx (and maybe some merc/minions) vs everyone else.

I am requiring that the cryx team have all 3 Lich Lords on the battlefield. Please post if you are going to participate and what your going to play so you can be on a team. I'm currently planning this for October 30. I will end up charging for this event, money goes toward some type of food and then door prizes.

SOFTCORE TODAY

I already posted about this about a month ago, but here's a little reminder that TODAY is the day for the New Jersey SOB Softcore tourney.

The New Jersey Somerville Ogrun Bokurs (NJ SOBs) cordially invite you to our next tournament. This tournament is essentially a Hardcore styled format without the painting requirement. This includes awarding Hardcore prizes (ie for being undefeated, having the fastest caster kill, and having killed the most VPs). What: 50 points Softcore When: Sunday, July 25th, 2010 (11 AM registration; 12 PM start) Where: The Only Game in Town (...Somerville, NJ) Contact: www.togit.com 908-725-7077 Cost: $10 Guest TO: Jake Hoffman Format: 1. 50 point SR2010 Hardcore variant without the painting requirement. 2. Bring one list. 3. Hardcore Time Limits (7 min turns; 3 min turn extension). 4. Killbox will be the only scenario. 5. Assassin scoring. Prizes: - Hardcore style scoring will be in effect. The player who is undefeated at the end of the tournament will win the "1st place" coin. The player who had the fastest assassination will win the "2nd place" coin. The player who killed the most VPs in the tournament will win the "3rd place" coin. - Bring your Battle Journals to receive Steamroller stamps. - If at least 75% of your armies are painted, you will be eligible for a painting prize raffle. We will be randomly giving away two $20 gift certificates. - This tournament will also earn points towards our "Biggest SOB" Annual Championship. For more information on how it works, visit http://www.freepowerboards.com/togit/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=64 Painting Contest: - Players may enter models they painted within the last 6 months, using the honor system. Once a model is entered in a competition, it can't be entered in one again. The model can be part of a unit. The whole unit isn't entered, just one model, however that entry will exclude any other models from the unit being entered in subsequent competitions. - The tournament players will vote on all the entries submitted for 1st through 3rd place. Once the painting entries were all ranked, we will use a non-variable scoring system to award points towards our "Biggest SOB" Annual Championship. For more information on how it works, visit http://www.freepowerboards.com/togit/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=64 Sidebar: Absolutely NO proxying (unless your case has been pleaded before the Empress and she deems it worthy). Conversions will be accepted on a model by model basis following Privateer Press' published conversion guide. All models must be assembled completely (i.e. no Warjacks/Warbeasts missing arms, wings, models falling off base, etc). Only Privateer Press models allowed (IK models are acceptable within reason). Painting not required, but highly encouraged.

GATEHOUSE GAMES

Here’s the run down on what the folks over at Gatehouse Games in Duncansville, PA have planned for the summer:
Here it goes, the most complete listing to date of our upcoming summer events.
June 7 – 27 is Round 2 of Shattered Grounds.  This time around it is the Blasted Heath battleground.  New model rules, scenarios and conditions will be made public once available but why wait to get to the sweet details?
Starting June 3, we will hold our “Combat Engineer” day, where participants can earn the Combat Engineer stamp in their battle journals by being involved in the event.  This event will focus on terrain pieces for different environments.  Forests, lakes, buildings and other traps are the eligible pieces for construction.  Anyone who is interested in building such a piece should consult back issues of No Quarter (only $1 for the NQ mags beside the IK minis) for inspiration or instructions.  We will be using these pieces throughout this league, so be sure to withstand the test of time.  Only by completing an appropriate piece will earn you the stamp.
Following the Combat Engineer day, the league will run every Thursday for the following three weeks.  A weekly participation fee of $5 of product ($10 if using unpainted models) must be purchased.  Put it towards that sweet, new jack or unit!
On June 26th, we will hold the Finale day.  Some tables will be devoted to the finale event, with others in use for standard Shattered Grounds games.  The winner of the finale will receive the Hero Commendation and a MK2 poster.
July will host the Hordes MK2 Genesis release event.  This event takes place on July 24th and will run all day.  Any faction is available for use, but only Hordes factions will be eligible for prizes.  The cost will be $5 for fully painted and $10 for unpainted models.  Details on the scenarios and list builds will become available soon.
August 16th-September 5th:  Prepare for RAMPAGE!!!!  Summer Rampage returns to Gatehouse Games every Thursday night.  Fight for faction glory and gold.  This is one event in the year that Faction on faction violence is prohibited, so bring friends to beat up!  September 4th will be the final hurrah for Rampage with an all-day-beat-down.  Again, Rampage will be $5/10 weekly product for participants.  Face it, you’re gonna spend the money anyway; why NOT get stuff for your army too!?
And for Monsterpocalypse fans; July-August will bear witness to the release of VOLTRON!!!  Special demos will be scheduled in advance, so make sure you free up some time to check out the newest expansion to Privateer’s collectible mini universe.
As always, specific event details will be posted and advertised when the dates approach.  Keep watching out and keep fighting hard.  You bring the bodies, I’ll bring the game.

BREAST CANCER BRAWL -

What is the Breast Cancer Brawl?
 
The Breast Cancer Brawl is an effort to raise money for breast cancer research, advocacy, education, and support organizations. The event is a fantasy table-top miniatures tournament and… painting competition using the popular WARMACHINE and HORDES game systems.

Entry fees to the event are donated to the breast cancer organization being sponsored. In addition, a unique tournament format is used to encourage additional donations throughout the tournament so that friendly competition can benefit a good cause. Privateer Press, the creators of the WARMACHINE and HORDES game systems and miniature lines, provides prize support for the event including special prizes for the tournament winner and the most generous donor.

The Breast Cancer Brawl is global in scope with charity tournaments happening around the world annually from September to December. With enough events, we all hope to do our part to help “knock out breast cancer”.

What is a fantasy table-top miniatures game?

A fantasy table-top miniatures game is a game that pits two players in a simulated battle using metal miniatures to represent various fantastic creatures, heroic soldiers and powerful machines of war. The game is played on a table with three dimensional scale scenery that represents hills, trees and other battlefield features. Dice are used to determine the success or failure of actions upon the table-top battlefield. During the Breast Cancer Brawl, participants will play in a series of games against opponents in a bracketed format where winners play winners until one player emerges undefeated at the end of the day. A typical game lasts about an hour and a half. Fantasy table-top miniature games also include a hobby aspect as players must assemble and paint their miniatures for use in the game. Warmachine and Hordes are award-winning and compatible fantasy table-top miniatures games by Privateer Press.

About Privateer Press
Privateer Press provides total immersion in the Iron Kingdoms world through role-playing releases, the award-winning WARMACHINE® and HORDES™ miniatures games, No Quarter Magazine™, and the Formula P3™ hobby and paint range. Privateer Press’s total commitment to the Iron Kingdoms brand drives our dedication to create the highest quality gaming products possible.

About the Breast Cancer Brawl Team
The idea for this project began in 2007 with a tribute project – one member of the Breast Cancer Brawl team wanted to paint one of his collected miniatures armies in pink in remembrance of his mother who had passed away from breast cancer. From there, it
quickly gathered volunteers to the idea and grew to a global effort. The Breast Cancer Brawl Team is a group of dedicated
Privateer Press fans that have volunteered to organize and administrate the global Breast Cancer Brawl events. Many of us have been personally touched by breast cancer in one way or another in our personal lives and this is just one way we are helping to raise awareness and fight the disease.

SHATTERED GROUNDS: NIGHTFALL

It's a new year and a new edition of Warmachine and Hordes so it only seems right that Privateer has completely redefined organized league play with Shattered Grounds: Nightfall.


Set in the undead plagued Scharde Isles, Shattered Grounds: Nightfall introduces a number of new aspects to league play:

- Season specific model rules to apply to your existing models.

- An online map updated daily with in game bonuses for the factions that control specific areas of the map.

- A Battle Journal to keep track of your achievements throughout the league.

- Unlockable stratagems that can be used in game.

- A Finale event where all map bonuses will apply and you will have an entire day to win glory for your faction

Registering for the League is only $10 and will include a Battle Journal you can use all year long. Future Leagues will cost a little less since you won't be paying for the Battle Journal.

The League will run from 4/5 through 4/25.

Middle Atlantic Team Tournament to be held on October 9th, 2010

The first Middle Atlantic Team Tournament (MATT) will be held in Media, PA on October 9th.

Each store or club within 2-3 hours driving distance will form teams of 3 players whose wins are counted together for the overall win of a team traveling trophy. If you have an odd number coming (say 4 or 5) members outside a 3-man team can still play but their points don't get added towards the team tournament prize. 

Individual players still vie to win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, so there is plenty of reason for everyone to come and play.
